<p>&nbsp; I just subscribed to Fiber Arts magazine. I will recieve a bonus issue - yeah!&nbsp; I&#39;m anxious to see articles about my favorite subject- art clothing. I love stories about reusing old fabric to jazz up clothing. I never seen to have enough time to make anything for myself, so my New Year resolution is to make garments for myself. I may not add all the flourishes to my garments but I want ideas for touches of art. (I&#39;m a hidden artist in a 61 yr. old frumpy body). I also resolve to find a type of media that appeals to me enough to stick with it. I&#39;m a dreamer and can&#39;t seem to start wearble art projects. If you don&#39;t mind listening, I&#39;ll let you know how I&#39;m doing.

<p>I&#39;ve been taking the magazine for many years, even as a UK subscriber - it keeps me informed of what&#39;s going on in the world of textiles.&nbsp; Such a wide ranging look at textile art.&nbsp; QA and CPS are the only magazines I take which offer projects or how to items.</p>
<p>Admittedly I&#39;m behind in my reading, but I have the Summer issue - mad that I am any new one and I immediately to the page to see what&#39;s coming next time!!!&nbsp; I&#39;ve only flicked through, but was really drawn to the pics (not read the article yet) of Lesley Richmond, it looks sumptuous, and I&#39;ve saved for when I&#39;ve proper time to read it.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
